<p>As detailed in a press release, Treasure Hunters Fanclub is adding two new members to its roster, including the developer of <em>Fez</em>, Phil Fish and Twitter founding team member Britt Selvitelle. </p>
<p>The new games to be funded include noir adventure <em>Genesis Noir</em>, planet exploration game <em>In Other Waters</em>, survival game <em>Neo Cab</em>, asymmetrical VR multiplayer game <em>Panoptic</em>, and solitary farm sim <em>The Stillness of the Wind. </em></p>

<p>“I’m so proud to be helping these amazing and diverse teams to bring their visions to life,” said Chris Wright, managing director at The Treasure Hunters FanClub. “Developers have responded very positively to our model as an alternative to traditional publishing terms and we hope to grow the group of members to be able to meet the demand from the studios we are talking with.”</p>
<p>Treasure Hunters FanClub is also accepting pitches from developers with unique and original projects, and more information on how to pitch and the kinds of games that are suitable can be found <a href="http://treasurehuntersfanclub.com">here.</a></p>
